BW Education To Host Engineering Excellence Conclave

With 14.1 lakh candidates registering for JEE Main this year, the entrance process for coveted engineering colleges is perhaps the most ambitious career opening for lakhs of students, matched in aspiration only by medical entrance exam NEET. Engineering aspirants and their families pin their hopes on education in an engineering institute as a passport to a meaningful and well-paying career.

Does engineering education do justice to the hopes of the lakhs of aspirants? With ever changing technologies, especially with Generative AI pervading every aspect of life, are all engineering colleges bringing about changes in their curriculum and pedagogy? How equipped are they in terms of infrastructure and faculty to be abreast of the changing requirements? Is the present faculty on the same page when it comes to innovative approaches? Expertise in core skills notwithstanding, do the engineering grads have the required soft skills to perform in teams in the industry?

BW Education is making an effort to find answers to all these questions in its upcoming 'Engineering Excellence Conclave' that focusses on celebrating the quality of higher education in India. The event to be held at Park Hotel in New Delhi on 27 August 2024, will bring together institutional regulators and leaders to explore how they can leverage strategies, technologies and management tools to build a world-class education hub. This forum will organise high-level dialogues and strategies, as well as celebrate and recognise the best engineering colleges and universities in the country.

The power packed panel discussions will bring together multiple experts and stakeholders to explore these topics - 'Engineering in the Era of AI: Navigating Challenges and Opportunities', 'Agile Curriculum: Keeping Pace with Technological Advances', 'Tackling the Faculty Crunch: Recruiting and Retaining Top Talent', 'Promoting Diversity in Engineering Education', 'Engineering Entrepreneurs: From Job Seekers to Job Creators' and 'Aligning Engineering Education with Industry Needs: Insights for HRs and CHROs. The experts will share their valuable perspectives and engage in a lively discourse.

BW Education aims to address the current challenges in engineering education and explore future possibilities through its upcoming special edition on Engineering Ranking. This edition will highlight institutions that are making significant efforts to meet the sector’s and students’ expectations.
